Developer Berkeley Festival Waterfront and consulting engineer Roberts & Partners appointed ABB as m&e contractor and Advanced Lighting Systems (ALS) to supply the lighting system.
ABB chose to maximise off-site prefabrication in order to achieve quality and installation demands and to simplify site logistics. To achieve this, ALS opted for a lighting solution along the same lines and selected second-generation EL-B stainless steel, pre-wired trunking protected to IP54 from German manufacturer Lite-Licht’s range. A mixture of standard and bespoke lighting fittings were used.
The luminaires were pre-wired, tested and pre-connected to the trunking; electrical installation on site only required connecting through-trunking wiring at each 6·2 m section and adding the prepared junction boxes at the end of each row.
The project was completed ahead of schedule and with minimal disruption to Portsmouth Harbour.
